Cal State Fullerton has been awarded a $3 million grant from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine to continue its scholar program in stem cell research and regenerative medicine.
Up to 10 new scholars participate in rigorous coursework in molecular and cell biology and lab training each fall to prepare for a seven-month paid internship conducting stem cell research at partner institutions.
Cal State Fullerton had already received $3 million from the institute for the program, which started in 2010.
The latest grant will provide training and research opportunities to 50 more students over the next five years, according to Nilay Patel, associate professor of biological science, who directs CSUF’s Bridges to Stem Cell Research program.
